Phenomena
Storms are explained in meteorology, the study of the
atmosphere, as effects of the uneven heating of earth by
the sun. It is how the earth copes by distributing heat
across its surface, causing wind, clouds and precipitation.
They have also been explained as higher beings who
bring changes in the sky, land and sea. Thunder, the
sound of Thor, the norse god of thunder, riding his
chariot across the sky, hurricanes and floods are
generated by dragons in the chinese mythology, and
blizzards are caused by yukionna in japanese folklore.
Every storm out there, are formations of Mrots, seen
mostly by animals and children, but children tend to lose
the sight as they age, for reasons unknown. Minds that are
more open to the idea that there are creatures existing
are more likely to see them. Informing you about mrots will
direct your mind into the possibility of seeing one yourself.
This bestiary contains details of different characteristics
about few of the mrots, rendered depictions of mrots
in their environments and scientific illustrations
containing information about their physical details.
Drazzilb (The Blizzard)
Mobs of spindly Drazzilb descend
from the sky amidst the freezing
sleet and frost. Violent, chaotic and
disorganized, they work themselves
into a frenzy, smashing and fighting
amongst themselves, regenerating
with the falling snow and absorbing
in shattered comrades. Drazzib while
spinning, will grab, pull, claw and push
at anything within reach.
Drazzib are dangerous because they
cause gale force winds as they spin,
blowing snow into roads, as well as
causing near zero visibility as they are
smashed and reformed. Being made
from snow and ice, they radiate cold
air, the combination of the generated
wind causes temperatures to drop.
Enacirruh (The Hurricane)
Enacirruh are one of the few grounded
storms, living deep in the tropical oceans.
They resent the fact that they cannot fly like
their relatives, the LLecrepus. Gathering
together in an attempt to get up into the sky,
they will bite, stomp and flutter over each
other in a frenzy. The weaker Enacirruh
end up crushed in the bottom, becoming
the stepping stone for the stronger to push
skywards.
Their formation resembles a spiral staircase,
a silent circle in the middle, also known
as the eye of the storm. Enacirruh are
dangerous because in their fury they will
crash into water crafts and air crafts that
venture too close, their speed pulls wind
and water and may cause Odanrot and
Doolfhsalf to group. Sometimes, Enacirruh
are good as they pull away heat, as they tend
to assemble in warm evaporating water
and relieve droughts in the area

Inspiration Descriptions
Enacirruh grew from the characteristics I gave to the storm first, basing the physical appearance from
the personality of hurricanes, I gave it powerful jaws similar to a clamp, something that would not let go
easily. The legs are based off mountain goats, which are one of the best climbing animals which would
suit the violent nature of the hurricane, this storm would keep climbing up as high as it can go. The tail
is based from the American Alligator who can easily snap a mans leg. Hurricanes start from the ocean in
warm evaporating water, which I used to give them the characteristic of anger for not being able to fly.

Llecrepus (The Supercell)
Llecrepus are a large and violent storm, they
circle in packs and tear at anything that
goes near them. Llecrepus communicate
similarly to Mrotsrednuht by bellowing
within the pack, the sound audible from
over 20 miles away. Surprisingly, they never
engage in fights with other Llecrepus, often
turning their anger on approaching outside
objects such as cars, trees, houses and
air/water crafts.
Llecrepus will summon other extreme
weather with the wind,rain and hail they
generate, such as Doolfhsalf, Tsrubnwod
and Odanrot. If you see this storm, it is
best to go the opposite way.

Inspiration Details
Being the most physically powerful storm I would design, I based the Llecrepus off a chinese dragon, which
is the highest ranking creature in chinese culture. As well as being powerful, the Llecrepus is also based
off Jormundangr, the world snake, in norse mythology. The horns are also based off the chinese dragon,
but also as a weapon for it, as a intimidation device like deers antlers or butterflies colourful wings. The
sharp eyes based off a hawk or eagle because i was thinking of supercell as a giant violent predator.
The Llecrepus is related to the Mrotsrednuht and Mrotsliah since the supercell is a spinning storm, also
usually coming with hail, rain, thunder and lightning, so it takes a bit of the characteristics of each.

Mrotsdnas (The Sandstorm)
Mrotsdnas are a chaotic rabble of storms, they
leap at high speeds, reaching up to 20,000 feet
in height. As they jump, they will land onto
others who cannot dodge in time, crushing
them with their powerful feet, usually causing
heavy injury or death. As their large hooked
talons dig up loose sand and debris, new smaller
Mrotsdnas are formed, growing as they absorb
more sand.
Mrotsdnas are very curious and will poke
their nose into everything, even lungs, which
the smaller ones will get into by the draw of
a breath. Those who make the mistake will
die, as it is difficult to jump back out with the
breath, often collapsing as they are not able
to keep up their form once they stop moving.
Mrotsdnas as well as curious, are also very
careless, breaking property that are too delicate
for the jabbing and clawing as they inspect the
items they can get at.

Inspiration Details
The jumping and not flying characteristic of the Mrotsdnas comes from the sandstorm being on ground but
still able to reach great heights in the sky. The feet and claws are based off Ostrich feet, which are tough and
powerful with the long claws which come from the sandstorms ability digs up further sand and debris as it
sweeps across the landscape. The overall look for the Mrotsdnas are Roadrunners and Desert Hopping Mice,
who are both desert animals that run and hop a lot respectively. The beak is based off a Gila Woodpecker
which reflects the sandstorms ability to get sand and dust into small corners and cracks. I designed the
tail based on the Kangaroo because it is a good balancing as well as increasing speed. Their eyes are are
based off the Camel who have long eyelashes and a third eyelid that provide protection against the sand.

Mrotsdniw (The Windstorm)
Mrotsdniw come in large schools, playful storms,
they like to tug at objects as they fly past or into.
They tend to fly higher in the sky but occasionally
they will fly lower to steal balloons and umbrellas.
Some Mrotsdniw have developed a taste for hats,
swooping down on loosely worn hats for a nibble.
Mrotsdniw are generally peaceful, but there are
some stronger ones that will pick up cars and
trees to throw about. They will also knock over
power-lines and bring Mrotsrednuht with them

Inspiration Details
The eyes are based off goats, because it reflects the winds cheeky playfulness. I designed the Mrotsdniw with
a dog head because I imagined that they would be playful but they would be really clumsy like a big dog who
still doesn't realise how much force it can have. The general body shape is based off a a fish, tail particularly
a Merlin, which can generate a powerful jump. I gave it no maneuvering fins because winds usually go in
a straight line until it hits something and redirects or in Coriolis effect, caused by the earths rotation.

Mrotseci (The Icestorm)
Mrotseci are small, sluggish and full of
water, drifting down from the sky on
cold, wet days. Floating around hunting
for electricity and heat, they also have a
taste for last breaths, licking the small
wisps from outside. They have tiny scales
in their fins that cling and freeze onto
anything they touch. When they run
out of scales they will begin to fall and
then burst as their main body touches
a foreign object.
Mrotseci are the most dangerous storm
to humans because despite their gentle,
slow swimming, their scales freeze on
top of the roads which become too slick
for driving. Their taste for electricity
and heat cuts out the power in houses
can cause hypothermia.

Inspiration Details
The body of the Mrotseci is based off a water balloon, as a means to spread frozen water as it lands. The
general body shape is similar to a floating goldfish, which is quite peaceful looking to reflect storms
mild rain. The head and eyes are based off a dolphin because they generally look friendlier and give the
appearance that they are friendly, like how people underestimate the ice storm ability to cause harm.

Mrotserif (The Firestorm)
Mrotserif come in hungry swarms during
hot and dry places and seasons. They are
ruthless and selfish, aiming to eat whatever
they can reach with their tongues, pulling
the item back into their stomachs, but the
fire in their stomach consumes the objects
so fast they remain hungry permanently.
They produce a gas from burning that will
choke the life out of all the living beings
within miles. If they stop eating the fire
will consume the Mrotserif from the inside
out. Their tongue will ignite the items
they touch and if they drop the item, it
will grow into a small Mrotserif.
Mrotserif are dangerous because their
swarm will move very quickly in search
of new food. Their speed causes a self
sustained wind system, drawing in air
and pulling objects towards the swarm
enabling them to grow.

Inspiration Details
The head is based off a Chameleon, with its ability to shoot at objects with its tongue and drag it
back in, it is also for the fact that the firestorm will start generating its own wind system. Fire
never stops until it runs out of fuel, which is why I designed the stomach to contain a fire, it is like
a metabolism burning forever and all the Mrotserif can do is drag on its existence. The Mrotserif
is very small which is to represent how big fires can start from a little spark. The reverse claws
and arms are based off how once there is a fire starting, it will not stop without a fight.

Mrotsliah (The Hailstorm)
Mrotsliah are formed high up in cold clouds,
their sizes depending on the temperature
and liquid content. Generally peaceful, they
flit through the sky dropping hail formed
from their bubble of water and tongue.
When they form in larger sizes, their hail
are also larger. As they run out of water in
their bubble, they become fragile and will
shatter with the slightest touch.
Mrotsliah are relatively less dangerous,
but they can cause roof damage and larger
Mrotsliah can kill smaller animals.

Inspiration Details
Mrotsliah have the same tail as Mrotsrednuht and Llecrepus because hail can be caused when its cold
and raining, so instead of raining it hails. The water bubble is based on a Surinam Toad who keeps her
eggs inside her back until they hatch. The hailstorm has high water content and the cloud is below
freezing, so the Mrotsliah was designed with a water based body type and a fish-like appearance. The tube
tongue is based off the chinese lucky toad water fountain because it would generate water and make
hail for the storm, instead of thinking of the hail as the creatures, it would be the Mrotsliah making hail.
Three pairs of arms are just practical purposes, they would let the Mrotsliah throw out hail faster.

Mrotsrednuht (The Thunderstorm)
Mrotsrednuht are a social group of storms that gather on warm
humid days. They usually come in large swarms, sometimes
alongside other swarms or storms. Mrotsrednuht come in
many sizes, usually growing as they gather, absorbing moisture
in the air. They swoop and writhe in the air screeching and
howling, yet never touching despite being blind.
Being able to shoot lightning from their mouths, Mrotsrednuht
occasionally hit objects on the ground by accident, causing
fires, power surges and shock-wave damage.

Inspiration Details
Similarly to the Llecrepus, the Mrotsrednuht is based off the chinese dragons. The chinese use dragon
bones as a medicine, but they are actually dinosaur bones, dinosaurs have three claws, which i used for
the Mrotsednuht claws. The concept of blindness and howling is from Bats, even thought bats are not
blind, they navigate in the dark. When animals evolve in pitch black environments they eventually become
blind and lose the need for eyeballs, hence end up with closed eyesockets. I designed Mrotsrednuht with
closed eyesockets because they would be inside the dense storms with little view of the outside light so
communication with their eyes and bodies would be difficult since their swarm characteristic was social.

Tsrubnwod (The Downburst)
Tsrubnwod are competitive storms, they gather
in herds with the Mrotsrednuht and challenge
other storms into diving matches. This involves
dropping at the ground then pulling back inches
from hitting. They will keep competing until
there is only one left.
Tsrubnwod become dangerous to aircraft that are
landing or taking off due to the strong winds they
cause as they fall. Their falling speed can reach
up to 150 miles per hour, producing damages
similar to Odanrot.

Inspiration Details
The concept is based on horse because they are used in horse races and many competitive sports.
The downburst is a storm with strong downward wind, which is why I used Falcon wings for the
Tsrubnwod, Falcons will dive at high speeds to catch their prey, except the Tsrubnwod wouldn't stop
in midair. Their wispy fish tails are influenced by how downbursts sometimes has rain, and when its
strong downward rain, it would sound more like a bucket of water being poured down, the Tsubnwod
would swim with this tail up through the downwards bucket of water and diving to become part of it.
